I have always loved the idea of
achieving goals and becoming successful in life. Success can mean
lots of different things to different people but to me it's about
setting a goal, working at it and more importantly finishing it. You
might think, “duh...obvious isn't that everyone's goal?” Well
no, I think most people have dreams of becoming successful, but it's a
general idea to them. It's like being wealthy or maybe famous, but with no
clear direction on how to get to that point in their lives. That is
why, at least to me, success is about goal setting and goal
achieving. Doing what others don't want to do.

Of course this is easier said then
done. However, for me it was a VERY hard thing to do. Sure, I had a
clear idea of what I wanted and needed to do ,but when it came to
putting in the hard work I lied to myself with excuses. I
put work off till later (meaning never), and I went to watch TV or
played video games, even though I was VERY upset about my life and
really wanted it to change. I was just too lazy to do anything about
it.

I
realized that I was trying to be a person like Sebastian, a goal
crusher...a goal terminator...a goal (okay you get the point). But
that just wasn't me, and in fact when I did try to work like Sebastian
it actually caused me to get more depressed and play video games even
MORE! You see, how can you be expected to run a 5K when you have never
put on a pair of running shoes and gone for a run? So, what I did was
build systems to deal with this lazy problem.
